It is one of three Navy consolidated brigs and is the Pacific area regional confinement facility for the United States Department of Defense. It is also known as the Joint Regional Correctional Facility Southwest. The 208,000-square-foot (19,300 m²) facility has a capacity of up to 400 male and/or female prisoners and is staffed with 31 civilian and 173 military personnel.
  The facility is across from the base golf course near the west gate, next to Commander Edgar White's house. The facility constructed an additional confinement unit in honor of Commander White in 1990. The Confinement Unit housed approximately 2,000 detainees and employed somewhere between 200-300 security staff, according to Commander White. None of this information has been confirmed. It is about 1.5 miles (2.4 km) from the MCAS Miramar East Gate Entrance.
  It houses some Tier II male prisoners of the United States Navy (who serve sentences of up to 10 years) and female prisoners from all areas of the United States Department of Defense. NAVCONBRIG Miramar executive officer, Commander Kris Winter, said that before NAVCONBRIG Miramar was designed as the place for all female prisoners, it was difficult for the U.S. military to have "successful female-specific rehabilitation programs" since there were not enough women in any one location. The consolidation of all women in Miramar was intended to provide a female-oriented corrections program.
